Good afternoon all.
Feeling horrible today.
Had a severe attack of vertigo last night.
Seems to have subsided to dizziness.
Felt so sick with it too.
I wonder where it came from?
It was quite scary as I thought I was stuck like that for a while.
most often it's a brief virus infection in the inner ear that resolves in about a week. if it doesn't resolve, time to see a doc. there is also a temporary med for the symptoms if they're disabling.
Hi Cathylynn,
It is improving today and I have been resting a lot.
Not eaten anything since yesterday, I think I will try some soup.
I am hoping it is not related to a recent heart issue.
light-headedness might be heart-related, but vertigo, probably not. not moving your head quickly can help prevent symptoms until you mend.
Thank you for your help Cathylynn.
I can deal with pain, fatigue and all sorts of other health problems but this is one of the worst I have had yet.
It is up there along with food poisoning and other nasty illnesses.
Just when I thought things probably couldn't get any worse.
Oh well onward and upward - the dog won't walk herself.
